Leica M8 / M8.2

Pros: CCD sensor. Body Leica m. Wonderful black and white.

Cons: Too many or none if you know what you take. Not recommended for color. Noisy shot not in Leica m style.

Opinion: I am an amateur photographer of a certain age. I started photographing in the early 70s and I was lucky enough to start with good Nikon F, Rolleiflex, Leica screw cameras etc. Over time, preferring travel and street photography, I opted for Leica m. All used bodies. With digital the machines I preferred were the Fuji S3 pro and S5 pro and other Fuji x for the sensor and the Leica m8. In my opinion, the Leica m8 is the most analog of the digital Leica and the least "cathodic" of the other current digital ones of various brands. After various comparisons it is the one I preferred and I still prefer today. So if one has photographed in analog and is still looking for that result with digital the Leica m8 is perfect. I take it for granted that you know the rangefinder. Black & white is very, very, very good comparable to a good development from negative, obviously also the file must be treated or in jpg properly set the machine, for the color it is better to use the appropriate filters to avoid Magenta with black or use an alternative machine - for Leica the m9 always with CCD sensor. If one wants to shoot by candlelight you can do it but perhaps better to use something else.
